PEACE INSIDE ANXIETY PREVIEW : BONES OF MY BROTHERS
Bones of my brothers was something I did for the Gallipoli Art show this year, most of the other paintings from past years were all the same ... A soldiers portrait ... A glorious battle field... Well as far as I was concerned there is no such thing as a glorious battlefield. War was hell, people died. I searched for that particular red for a month, it had to be as blood red as I could get. I wanted to get the feeling across of how frightening and horrific war is. At first friends and family thought the painting was a little too intense, but after standing and staring they soon understood the emotion that I had tapped into and they were now experiencing it for themselves.
